Quotes

I always see that Virginia Woolf quote appear when I log into this blog.

It's a very nice sounding quote, don't get me wrong. But, the more I think about it, the more I doubt she was the first one to say that. She was just the first to make the idea sound nice.

I wonder how many times one of us, an ordinary person, says something profound that never appears as the theme for a blog or as the quote of the day on a website.

Props to Virginia Woolf for getting published, but what about all of the more meaningful quotes out there that have gone unpublished - that have gone unheard - all because we're not yet published authors? I think that is the true "submerged truth."
